makin bacon pancakes

Thank you for the prayers people! I still found it hard to sleep last night with my whirring brain, but I feel much more even today. It helps to be working at home today too, so I can go outside and grab some sunshine when I need it, and just move at a slower pace. I'm glad this week is over!

Also, a bit of silliness helps bring the smiles. I've been walking around singing "makin' bacon pancakes" to myself all morning. I reckon I'm going to actually have to make some bacon pancakes now.

Also there are SO many remixes of this on youtube. There's a 10 hour version. What.

This is my sweet tooth.

You can tell it's sweet, because it has a bow.

It's also the bane of my life. Don't let its placid expression fool you. It turns me from a rational human being into a chocolate craving guzzlebot.

But today I have not given in. I have had a muesli bar and some yoghurt, but they have health benefits that a neenish tart does not. I resisted the urge to go to the bakery. So take that, sweet tooth.

Hamlet's crazy ... crazy in love!

This is so fantastic.

tchotchkes*

There's a shop on Anzac Parade near where I work that sells useless cute...things. I sometimes go there when I'm feeling cruddy to get my fill of cute cartoon characters and silly things to make me smile.

There's never anyone else in there when I go in, except for the young, trendy Asian dude who runs the place. He's always very polite but never makes conversation (which is fine, because neither do I). I wonder if this place gets busier at night or something? How does he make enough money to stay in business? And why is this young, trendy Asian dude running a shop like this? Maybe it's a good way to meet chicks.

Today, for $1, I bought a Hello Kitty thing with bells on it, the kind of thing that giggling Chinese girls attach to their mobile phones. The Hello Kitty is dressed as a penguin and has a penguin sitting on her head. This goes with my other Helly Kitty, which is dressed as a mouse. Why? No reason. I also bought an almond pearl tea. I must be feeling Asian today.



*is there a Chinese word for tchotchke? Cos I don't feel like I can really legitimately use this Yiddish word. I might be half Asian, but I'm not at all Yiddish.

dumbledore!

And now for a bit of Sunday night silliness...this is via Meg, and I can't believe I hadn't seen it before, but it is continuing to make me giggle (and a warning: it will get stuck in your head).
